Hey this is my first story. I don't own Naruto. Please review good or bad I don't mind. Thanks for reading.
Shikmaru sighed as he entered the familiar hidden leaf village it had been a while since he and his team of ninja had been home. He could tell they were all happy to be home and anxious to see those they had left behind. He himself couldn't wait to wrap his arms around a certain blonde girl who he had missed quite a bit. Ino had been the only thing he could think about during the trip home. When they left she had just found out she was pregnant, she was so happy. That was 7 moths ago, he thought to himself and smiled thinking about how big she would look now. Most of them were so eager to get home they hardly stopped to rest. Naruto hadn't stopped talking about Hinata since the day they left, even Neji who was normally did not talk about personal matters had mentioned that he was eager to see Tenten. They didn't have to wait long before people started to gather to welcome them home. Hinata was the first girl to greet the man that had long waited to see her. Naruto tired face turned into an instant smile as he encircled her with his arms and pulled her close. One by one his team was met with there loved ones each getting warm welcomes and walking away to spend alone time with the ones they had missed for so long. Only he and Sasuke were left, he began to wonder where Ino could be and what about Sakura surely she was more than excited to have Sasuke back. After about another five minutes he could tell Sasuke was getting impatient, and to tell the truth he was as well. Not a second later he saw Sakura heading towards them slowly and she didn't look at all happy. As she got closer Shikamaru could see that her eyes were red rimmed from crying and she had blue circles under her eyes from lack of sleep. Sasuke pulled her close and hugged her to his body.
"Sakura, whats wrong?" Sasuke asked quietly as his girlfriend inhaled his scent deeply trying to calm down. Sakura turned to look at Shikamaru and instantly her face grew grim.
"Shikmaru, its Ino." Sakura began and instantly Shikamaru's heart turned to ice and his stomach knotted. What had happened was she ok was the baby, "Something happened on a mission while you were away." Sakura paused and looked over at Sasuke.
"What?" Shikamaru couldn't take the long pauses, his brain just kept chanting please be ok please let them both be ok.
"Orochimaru came to the village, there was a fight and he was injured but before he left, Tsunade asked Ino to infiltrate his mind with her new spy mind jutsu." Shikamaru nodded his head he had been the one to help her learn it, it was more difficult the the mind transfer jutsu she had used since they were kids this jutsu allowed Ino to enter a persons mind and stay there without them knowing, it was the perfect spy technique. The only draw back is that it has the same effect on the body as the mind transfer jutsu, meaning that whatever happens to the host body happens to Ino's. "Well she did and somehow he knew and well," Sakura took a deep breath, "we don't know what happened exactly the only thing Tsunade can think of that he trapped her inside his head and she can't leave. She's been in a comatose state for a month now. We have tried everything but we can't bring her mind back to her body. Her body is perfectly healthy the baby's fine her minds just not there."
"Where is she?" Shikamaru couldn't believe that there was nothing they could do Ino was the strongest most head strong person he knew there was no way Orochimaru had trapped her.
"The hospital room 136." Shikamaru turned to leave, "And Shikamaru I'm so sorry." Shikamaru took off for the hospistal hopeing in vain that it was just a misunderstanding. He walked into the room Sakura had told him Ino was in and looked at the peaceful form of his wife who looked as if she were sleeping.
"Ino." Shikamaru's voice was only a whisper as he crossed the small room over to where Ino's body lay. Her round stomach contrasted greatly with her small frame. He slumped into the chair next to the bed and rested his head against hers. "Come back Ino, please come back." His words came out sounding strangled as tears formed is his eyes. How could this be the Ino he knew and loved, Ino who was so full of life.
